Earthquakes above resulted in significant damage to the elevator, and in the majority of these reports contain information on disasters stuck in the elevator passengers. Accordingly, the protective measures taken to improve the performance of the elevator in case of earthquakes and other natural disasters. However, even after the introduction of a number of improvements in the design and control system of new and existing systems, elevators still get damage during earthquakes.

In this article, drawing comparisons elevators in terms of their strength and safety in case of high seismic activity, the authors give a description of the manual

The number of seismic stations in Russia over the past seven years has nearly doubled, to 310, which is more than it was in the territory of the Russian Federation in the early 1990s, said the director of the Geophysical Service RAS Alexei Malovichko.

In the Soviet Union before its collapse was about 500 seismic stations in the territory of the Russian Federation — about 250, Malovichko said on Tuesday at a roundtable at RIA Novosti, dedicated to the 33rd General Assembly of the European Seismological Commission. According to the scientist, in 1995, the total number of

According to the results of the annual international conference "Russia Offshore 2012" marine seismic technology "Geonod Exploration" is recognized as the best technology for exploration in 2012.

Scientists from the company "Geonod" — participants and the first residents of Technopark "Skolkovo" invented a unique technology for the marine bottom seismic hydrocarbon deposits.

"Method "Geonod Exploration" is by far the most cost effective and technologically efficient way seismic hydrocarbons in the whole range of depths from 0 to 7000 meters ", — says Director of Marketing and Business Development "Geonod" Yevgeny Borisov. According to him, "Company" Geonod "is

Specialists Institute of Defense Emergency summed up the second phase of tests on seismic stability of fragments of brick buildings, and to enhance the external reinforcement using carbon strips FibARM.

According to the study artificial earthquake of 9 points did not cause any harm to the model enhanced carbon materials.

In mid-August, the results of the tests were carried out on the seismic stability of the fragments of brick buildings: the conventional and enhanced The reinforcement system of carbon ribbons FibARM. The technology is developed Holding company "Composite". It is designed to enhance the buildings and structures,

The largest Russian company "Rosneft" starts to geological and environmental studies in the Barents Sea.

"Rosneft" embarked on a seismic survey in the licensed areas "Fedynskiy" and "Central Barents' exploration of which runs in conjunction with the project partner — the Italian company Eni, the press service of the company" Rosneft ".

At these sites is scheduled to perform 2D seismic survey in conjunction with the on-board gravimagnitometriey of 9950 line km in two license areas. Data collection will take place at the same time a complex of geophysical methods with

September 16, 2013. After analyzing its "discovery" in the study of seismic wave propagation, when one of the earthquakes, scientists have come to the conclusion that it is an ancient stream of magma moving underground from west to east across the continent for over 150 million years of existence of the globe, and identified the depth of the magma stay below the crust: it is about 200 kilometers. For their study, the researchers constructed a three-dimensional model of the Earth's interior under the United States and Canada, using data from seismic vibrations fix the surface of the Earth after an

8 noyayurya. In the south of Russia in recent years has sharply increased seismic activity. Worthy of special mention of Azov and the Black Sea. Their coast line is constantly changing. There are new island, or, conversely, areas of land are covered with water. Scientists have found such phenomena are associated with the movement of tectonic plates. Is it dangerous to humans?

Bouncing over the potholes, an old "loaf" in the day overcomes hundreds of kilometers. Scientists tour the Krasnodar region in search of mud volcanoes. They found more than a hundred.

May 23, 2011. Scientists continues to hold secret imperceptible, but the long seismic phenomenon called episodic tremor and slip (ETS, episodic tremor and slip). Recently, the "quiet earthquake" (or, if you like, "slow slip") was discovered a strange twist: a concussion can suddenly change course and return to again go through the rift that it formed a few days earlier, the rate of return movement in the 20-40 times higher than the original — because the area is already weakened.

Scientists are concerned about unusual seismic activity in the Azores in the Atlantic Ocean Danger Zone

Residents of the island of San Miguel authorities warned of the possible danger due to the increased seismic activity in the lake district of Fogo and Congreve.

Experts of the Azores University argue that the activity is caused by a small earthquake in the interaction of the Eurasian, African and American plates. This in turn explains the frequent volcanic tremors and earthquakes, typical for this region. October 19, 2011 was recorded last earthquake of 4.9 at a depth of 12 kilometers. However, seismologists do

July 15, 2013. Scientists have noted an increase in seismic activity in the Siberian Federal District. The most powerful earthquake in the last period was in the Kemerovo region, noticeable activity is logged in the Baikal region. On this occasion Portal "Sibinfo" talked to the deputy director of the Institute of the Earth's Crust doctor of geological-mineralogical sciences Cyril Levy.

— Cyril G., it seems that in Siberia became more earthquakes occur. Really now there has been increasing seismic activity?

— Yes, just recently there were two earthquakes with a difference of a few days — Barguzinskaya depression (tectonic element
